Attached are two pictures of my Kindle 2 and Kindle 3 side by side, and then a close-up of a portion of the screens of the two devices. You can see on the close-up that, although the K3 (lower image) has significantly blacker text than the K2 (upper image), the actual background is no whiter.

Oh, ok so that's probably the real reason. Unfortunately I do not have a K2 right now, but yes thanks for clearing that up for me. I think it probably means that the K2s I've been using were just the US versions and not the International ones. Correct me, but weren't there better screens on the International versions?
